| Sumario: | Lesotho is a small, landlocked, low-income country, with limited natural resources and a narrow production and export base. In recent Article IV consultations, IMF staff has emphasized the importance of ensuring that increases in outlays for poverty reduction are consistent with fiscal sustainability and absorptive capacity.

The authorities are making efforts to implement their poverty reduction strategy. The political situation is relatively stable. |
